As a women would, I bought this car for the elegant look it has. However, this car is meant for speeding. Be very careful! Not only with the speed, but with maintenance as well. This is a pricey car to maintain. It costs me $600 just for a 65,000mph check-up and I've only had the car for 2 months. Other than that It's a great car to flaunt around in.

Love This Car!

After doing my research, I flew all the way to N.Y. from San Diego and drove this car back to the left coast. By the time I had arrived, I was convinced I made the wisest purchase of my life. The solid ride, unbelievable power--coupled with great fuel economy--were all pleasant surprises to a frugal driver seeking elusive performance. I haven't had one stich of trouble with the car and it's been solid and dependable. This is a 9-3 in 900S clothing, because it has the same engine (this was only available on base models in '98 in the 3-door coupe). If you can find a well-kept '98 3-door, grab it quickly. You'll never regret your decision...

This car is more fun to drive than any car I have driven to date. Find a country road and mash the accelerator...better than a strong cup of coffee. I bought my Saab used and for buck, it has a helluva lot more bang than anything else in that price range.

Not your Grandpa's Saab Anymore

Today's Saabs may be a little more GM'd but that may, ultimately, be beneficial for the marque. Aside from the classic Saab "quirks" that all of the car rags like to mention repeatedly, Saab has packed so much more fun into the NG900 and 9-3 models. This car can perform, safety is key and utilitarianism was definitely on the mind of every involved Saab engineer when they produced the NG900 and 9-3 (essentially the same). If you get a chance to test drive a "broken-in" Saab, definitely don't deny yourself the pleasure.
